Basketball: Another big night for Anderson

Apparently all Ryan Anderson needed was a chance. The former Cal star hadn’t played in five of six games prior to scoring 19 points Friday night in the Orlando Magic’s 106-97 win over Minnesota. He scored 19 more Sunday on 7-for-8 shooting and Orlando beat Denver 103-97.

Anderson is shooting 7-for-14 from the 3-point arc the past two games. Over that span he has scored 38 points in 44 minutes — perhaps the Magic finds some more playing time for the guy.
